I'm new to FF: With which game should I start?

[spartancode117]

you should try either 7, 8, 9, or 10 first, because they are the ez to find. 10-2 sucks big time.

[crashNUMBERS]

You should go from FF1 to downloading FF3 so you can understand it more. When you think you are ready for tough and complicated RPG ways go-on and play FF2. If you feel that yur not ready then play in this order...

I
III
VI
IX
VII
then II
then whatever else you want to go on next...

7 because its the first one for ps1
Or buy the classics on Ps1 now but they are quite rare in britan

FFIX. It's lighthearted, easy to pick up and doesn't require a lot of FF experience to beat the bosses.

It doesn't matter which one you start out with. All of the games are different adventures (with the exception of FFX-2) It just depends on how original you want to get. If you want a 3D adventure get FFVII or higher, if you want one with retro graphics and old school style then get any one under FFVII. Also, many of the games use magic differently and some have job classes (Wizard, Archer, Knight, etc.). You might just have to look into it more to see which you are interested in.

Now If you want my opinion then that's a whole different story. I say FFVII. That one is the best one to start out with because you can kinda get how the 3D FF games will work but it still has some of the same elements that the older ones have. It is also the one that seems to have received the most popularity so it might make you want to get more and is less likely to discourage you from buying the other games.

VII or IX. Actually consider X if you have a PS2.

[LunaticPandora37]

anyone of them but CC and X-2...the rest of them are good...i personally think you should try IX or VII next...good starters into the FF..world..i guess is what you could call it

[Quezacotl]

Thanks for all the advice guys! And btw, I thought that IX was hated by most FF fans...well seeing how it is not that hated, I might check it out next. Right now, I started playing FF I &II awn of Souls for the GBA and it is extremely addictive. Well, I'm off to beat Astos.

[Kakashi509]

I never knew awn of souls was an ff game

[Quezacotl]

What? How did that happen? ...damn, I hate it when that happens, but anyways, FF I kicks ass so far..
